I have been doing a lot of thinking of this recent info we have been reading, bickering and analyzing about. I am one of those people who tend to over analyze things, and look too deeply into things as well. But I have had a peace about this that has come over me lately. Today I was scrubbing my kitchen floor and put all of my Creed music on the computer and tried out my new speaker system. The music was loud and literally pounding in my head. I listenend to MOP all the way to Weathered and all my live CD's and bootlegs. I had so much emotion going though me I swear my floor is so clean you can eat off it (LOL) Anyways....... like I have said in other threads whatever happens, happens. The thundering guitar riffs, passionate singing and percise drum playing got to me today, I listened closely to the lyrics. I thought I have always listenend closely but today it was on a different level. I noticed the difference between the lyrics of MOP and Weathered and boy I never really noticed the extreme difference in the content of them. Creed has brought so much to me and so many others. You hear about the great things they have done for fans, kids WAWO, and so many others they have become such a unique band. But some people forget they are also human as well. Each and every one of them have thier own hopes and dreams, thier own problems and own issues just like you and I. And things happen for a reason. If they take off time to explore other projects then great, I think they would grow so much indivually who knows where this would lead them in the future. I would be lying if I said that I did not want Creed to keep on and put out another decade of Cd's. But honestly it has to come from thier desire, not ours for them to produce.
We still are uncertain of what is the truth and what is not. We know that there is a good chance that Creed as we know it COULD be put on hold or even over. But I know that I geniunely wish them each the happiness and success they all deserve.
As I approach my 31st birthday I have endured so many life altering changes, and most recently the past 3 years have been hell, but one thing kept me grounded, gave me some peace and happiness and that is Creed. And for that I am more grateful than anything.
So I will continue to support them and follow all thier paths. I am looking forward to Mark's new projects I know that anything he does is going to ROCK for sure, he is such an incredible musician. And Stapp, needless to say you all know I will follow his path as well. I think he has so much to give and so much talent, I hope he finds what fits for him and makes him happy. And that goes for the rest of them as well.
So who knows what the future holds, could be new bands, solo projects or even acting. And maybe even Creed will resurface as a stonger force to rock us even harder. But I know that you can either look at it as "You create your own destiny" Or "all things happen for a reason" I just know that I look forward to anything they put out together or seperate!
